Now all these instances, where I
appear to have had a clearer foresight than the rest, I shall not refer to a
single cause, men of Athens—my real or pretended cleverness1; nor will I claim that my knowledge
and discernment were due to anything else than two things, which I will mention.
One, men of Athens, was good luck,
which my experience tells me is worth all the cleverness and wisdom in the
world.
